00:00Mangeshi temple and I pray God that God will give you the eternal blessings to go ahead in your future
00:07life.
00:08So this temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva. Shiva is known as Mangeshiwa here.
00:13The very word has been derived from the word Sanskrit. Mang means mountain and Isha means the Lord.
00:18Shiva is the Lord of mountains. Literally speaking Shiva's abode is on Himalayas where he's pronouncing.
00:24But Shiva has come to Goa. Earlier Goa's name was the Parshurambhami.
00:27All the Himalayan gods they have come to Goa for recognition.
00:30Therefore the government of India along with Goa government made Goa a safe tourist destination.
00:34So those who come from any parts of India or around the world they never forget to visit this place.
00:40Before the temple was established over here it was at Kvartalim.
00:44A place 40 kilometers away on the bank of the river Jawari which was the Jawari River.
00:54So during the time of inquisition when the Portuguese, the Jesuit border, they were converting the temples to Cherubis.
01:02In 1567 according to Archaeological Survey of India it was displayed on the first front part of the temple.
01:09The temple was shifted and later on the temple went on innovation from time to time.
01:13The last thing was in 1973 when we had a distinction of having the Golden Summit tourist temple.
01:18Now thereafter till 19 December 1960 Goa were never ruled by themselves.
01:26Here this whole area of the south for Deccan was ruled by Adil Shah of Deccan.
01:32So all the sacred building in Panjim was the Darbar of Adil Shah.
01:36So as a matter of fact domes have the floral designs and minarets a typical Islamic taste for the Hindu
01:41architecture.
01:42Temple looks like a Vatican church of the Portuguese influence.
01:45It will make a nostalgic look outside Ionic, Doric and Corinthian that the European architecture and rest all Hindu architecture.
01:51To tell you in that then Goa has proudly accepted and adopted the West from the West and Goa is
01:56always a mixture of therefore Goa is called Rome of the East.
01:59Now the story that is narrated in the mythology Shiva and his wife Parvati were playing suddenly a thought came
02:04in the mind of Lord Shiva to test her.
02:06He came in a disguised for a tiger and started marching towards her.
02:10When he saw the fierce tiger Shiva was afraid and words were spontaneous from death to Atra Himang means O
02:15Lord of the mountains save me.
02:17Now Shiva also played Shiva is a deep meditation so Shiva is many many roles to be there.
02:22You never find Shiva with a Biyadh but here Shiva is in Biyadh that means Shiva is enjoying what you
02:27know the ascetic life.
02:29The Lingai just swam but nobody knows it when it was established.
02:33So all the rituals are performed right from 6 to 11.30 at 12 o'clock we have got a
02:39Mahārthi.
02:40There after at 10 o'clock the gates are closed the last Arthi.
02:43Monday being a suspicious day we have a palanquin around the Pramaitra temple.
02:48So most of the right from Pratipada to the Phasgun Purnima all the festivals are held.
02:54Our big festival on the Mark Shuddha Purnima that was in this year it was the 1st February.
03:03Again Shivaraty was on the 14th.
03:05Now there will be Ram Noami.
03:08So then outside you see the big tower that is called Dipastham.
03:12Every temple in Gova has got its own peculiarity as far as the Mangalya temple goes Dipastham.
03:17It's not like a leading tower of Pisa from Italy.
03:19I fell towers on the Pramaitra kutub binar of India.
03:22All these structures are very broad at the bottom but very thin at the top.
03:25If you look minutely the circumference right at the bottom till the top remains the same.
03:30Then there is a holy tank where Shivaya is taken from the boat close.
03:33So these are the monasteries where the people of the earth they come they stay and they go.
